The Foundation for Sickle Cell Disease Research (FSCDR) is the United States’ first outpatient center exclusively dedicated to the treatment of and innovative research for SCD. The Foundation for Sickle Cell Disease Research (FSCDR) is committed to supporting innovative research in sickle cell disease to help maximize quality of life and improve survival for the generations of people affected with this disease. FSCDR is a comprehensive, non-profit organization that provides a platform for researchers, healthcare providers, individuals and their families living with sickle cell disease and supporters to work collaboratively in identifying barriers that are limiting creation, adoption and adherence to evidence-based screening recommendations, new therapeutics and best practices that help in the management of sickle cell disease. FSCDR understands that research must be supported with data and that education plays a key role in empowering people and affecting change; therefore, its venues directly promote these principles. As part of its extensive platform, FSCDR offers educational initiatives that help to expand the understanding of sickle cell disease through its Annual Sickle Cell Disease Research Meeting and its scholarly Journal of Sickle Cell Disease and Hemoglobinopathies. FSCDR also provides networking that facilitate collaborative learning through its membership-based Sickle Cell Research Society of America (SCRSA) and its general Corporate Engagement Forum, which also invites patient participation. Most importantly, FSCDR has created the first-ever Sickle Cell Disease and Thalassemia Patient Registry that allows researchers access to vital information for data mining, qualitative and quantitative research that can help pave the way toward a better understanding of sickle cell disease and innovations in the treatment of sickle cell disease and related disorders. The Registry also has a health record portal for individuals with sickle cell disease to keep track of their health information, receive reminder notifications, and share their health record with their doctor (s). FSDCR appreciates the benefits of being united in the common cause of sickle cell disease research and medical care with academia, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and community organizations.

“One of my first memories of having Sickle Cell was being in the emergency room at just 5 years old. My mom was called from work because I couldn’t get up from my chair — my legs hurt so badly. That was the first time I realized I was different… because I knew this didn’t happen to the other kids.”

— Sickle Cell Warrior, Dorris Polanco

Her story is a reminder of the strength, courage, and resilience that Warriors show every single day.

What is Sickle Cell Disease? 🩸

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder that affects how red blood cells carry oxygen. Instead of being round and flexible, the cells become hard, sticky, and shaped like a “C.” These sickle-shaped cells can block blood flow, cause pain, and damage organs. Because they die faster than normal cells, people with SCD often experience anemia and a higher risk of infection.
